The birth of baby Ian

 It’s been some time! And this round, there is a new bun added to our family. Baby Ian is born! Today he is 2 months and 23 days. I am so thankful to what God has blessed us. Everytime I look at the blessings on my table, I asked God, how do I deserve all these? God is just all too great all too almighty that no words can describe my gratitude. 

During my 1st trimester scan, the doctor is unable to locate Ian’s nasal bone and my pregnancy is named as high risk. Up until the last trimester detailed scan, the doctor still cannot see Ian’s nasal bone and adding to it, they found some white spots on Ian’s heart that added 200x to my high risk pregnancy. I was so stressed that I couldn’t sleep well during my pregnancy. 

We prayed for God to bless us with a healthy and happy baby. We uphold to God that no matter how is Ian going to be, we will take care of him with all our heart. And during labour, baby Ian came out with a loud cry and the moment Ian was placed on my chest, I saw him being healthy and with an extra blessing! An extra finger! 

We thank God! 

Being parents for the first time makes me panic very easily. I worry of not able to give what he needs physically and not able to bring him up to a God fearing person. I pray for my heart to be firm when it comes to a time of discipline. We rejoice at each milestone Ian hit and praise him good boy. Things like burping after each feed, putting his neck straight, sleeping longer at night. It is a steep learning curve for Ian as well to adapt to this world physically and we thank God for each milestone he made.

We are still growing as parents ourselves and we pray that the Lord will lead us we go along.
